For a girl twin: Natalia, Lucia, Catalina, Mariana. They share Alejandro's general style but each keeps its own sound. 8 of the 20 names on this page have the same 4-syllable length as Alejandro.

Should twin names match more than sibling names?

Closer than ordinary siblings, but not all the way. A twin of Alejandro can share its style and length; what it should not do is rhyme with Alejandro, which is the biggest penalty in the twin score.

Should Alejandro's twin have a different first letter?

A lot of paperwork, from class lists to doctor's files, shows only a first initial and a surname. A twin of Alejandro whose name also starts with "A" can be harder to distinguish from Alejandro on some records, so the twin score rewards a different first letter. None of the names on this page start with "A".
